Aussie, 97, world's oldest graduate

AUSTRALIAN man Allan Stewart became the world's oldest graduate in
2006 at the age of 91. On Friday, he got his masters in clinical science at
Southern Cross University.

"I have just been blessed with good genes," Stewart said.

The degree is his fourth.

"I think I can hang up my mortar board and academic robes after this
one -- although I said that after my last degree, and then I got bored. I have
so much time on my hands these days, and I like to keep mentally active,"
he added.

He got his degree in dentistry with honors at the University
of Sydney in 1936 and a Doctor of
Dental Surgery from Chicago's Northwestern University
before practicing in Coonabarabran in regional New South
Wales, in Sydney and in London.

Stewart got a law degree from Australia's
University of New England in 2006.

Sonya Brownie, one of his supervisors during his two and a half year masters
program, said he is a "living legend and such a tremendous inspiration to
those who aspire to age well and pursue lifelong learning."

Brownie added, "His willingness to embrace new learning technologies,
and his competency using different online learning applications, is truly
incredible. It was not unusual for Allan to be the first student to register in
the online discussion board forums or to Skype me to discuss something about
the unit."

Stewart, whose masters is in complementary medicine, said, "I
wanted to apply my knowledge in the area of healthy aging -- both for myself,
my family and the wider community. People are always coming to me for advice on
how to live longer and healthier lives, and now I feel I have some credibility
in giving out that advice."
